HERE’S A JOB FOR SOME CIVIC CLUB
"City Beautiful” contests in which prizes are given for the
civic pride aroused that results in the beautification of the homes
individually and the city as a whole. __
Last week The American had something to say about the
beautification of farm homes. There doubtless also have been
contests in farmstead beautificationhowever, such campaigns
are not so common as the city beautification projects.
Why not a double-barreled contest with both the rural and
city homes competing. Separate prizes could be offered for var-
ious classes of buildings and yards so that everybody who has a
yEame would have a chance in the contest. ............
Such a contest would not only result in civic improvement, but x were $m688.<H4. against **>&»■-

Stamford delegates at the convention and Stamford people
who are at home are keenly interested in the outcome. Able men
of West Texas are laboring manfully at the task of eleminating
weaknesses in the organization. We can rest assured that they
will do the best that is within their power and we hope that the
outcome will be that this great regional organization will be
strengthened for years of service to come.
